Elijah Drago vs. Tyler Shoop 

The match started at a fast pace, Shoop using speed and acrobatic ability in an attempt to take Drago down early. Drago quick to counter, stopping Shoop’s momentum and asserting himself as the powerhouse strongman. 

Late in the contest, Shoop mounted a comeback, dismantling Drago piece by piece as both men showed resilience by kicking out and staying alive. Shoop went for a top-rope move, but Drago cut him off and delivered his F5 to secure the victory. 

KJ Impala vs. QT Marshall 

KJ Impala made his entrance alongside the rest of II Cartello Grillo, as QT Marshall continued his mission to take out the faction one by one, starting with KJ. 

The two went back and forth, each man refusing to allow the other to gain sustained offense. QT knocked KJ to the outside, but distraction from Cartello Grillo broke the cycle, allowing KJ to knock QT down on the floor. While the referee was distracted, the rest of Cartello Grillo attacked QT, leaving him in visible pain. KJ nearly put QT away with a Deep Six that QT barely survived. As Jason Esquire distracted the referee, Hayden Seal slid brass knuckles to KJ, but QT intercepted them and used the weapon to knock KJ out for the win. 

With one member of II Cartillo Grillo down, QT’s mission was far from over. 

Brady Booker vs. Chris Del Ray (Frathouse Pledge) 

A quick squash, ending after Brady Booker delivered a spear to Del Ray. 

The Frathouse, however, made sure Booker did not enjoy the victory. Jacked Jameson and Cody Vance attacked the World Champion after the match, hitting a devastating double spinebuster. Seeing Booker still showing signs of life, Jameson followed up with a lariat before standing over the fallen champion and holding the 1FW World Championship belt high above him. 

Remi Reade vs. Hyena Hera 

This match had been a long time coming, as Hyena Hera had been on the prowl ever since losing the fatal four-way for the title, believing she would be a better champion than what she called a “paper champion” in Remi Reade. 

Before the bell even rang, Hyena attacked Remi from behind, brutalizing her until Remi fired back with some fiery chops. This did not feel like a typical wrestling match — it was a fight fueled by pure hatred. Toward the end, a desperate Hyena grabbed the title with the intent to use it, but Angelica Risk came out to help, pulling the belt away. Risk was shoved into Remi, causing the title to strike the champion and knock her down before Hyena took Risk out as well. Remi managed to retain the championship with a surprise inside cradle. 

After the match, Hyena attacked Remi again, and Angelica Risk shockingly betrayed her former friend, leaving the champion in pain as multiple officials rushed to check on her condition. 

This was a great match that left questions about where this feud goes next.
